[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkboy_torino:
Hello everyone, I am an Italian partially sighted, and then I have big problems of view. I note with regret that Android is very configurable, but with more difficulty.

I have a HTC Desire with root privileges.

I would simply like to change most of the interface, not pleasure, but to use it, for example, I have to change anything that has white background with black background and then put white text, here's a list:

- Change backgrounds with blacks and whites to white text (it is called high-contrast)

- Change buttons with clear background and insert new ones with black background and white text

- A little larger all the characters

- Enlarge icons

- Have all black keyboard with white keys

- Have different software with a black background and white text

How do you see there.

I am a programmer and I also know Java and I have the android SDK installed, the only lacks experience in this system since I got two days ago.

I installed without success, Open Home, in the sense that I did not get good results.

Can you help?

I am willing to install something already done or create something from scratch I just do not know where to start, I know that Android is based on the topics of XML, but I do not know where in the system, such as retrieve and re-enter .

Excuse me for my bad english

Thank you all.

Ale
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
I would be interested in the results that could be achieved by one of the active themers around here, in response to OP's request.

I do not have the difficulties that OP does with his vision, but I think that black everywhere with white text is far more attractive. I'd be especially interested in a mod for the GMail app, Market, People, etc.

I hope someone can help out so the OP can really get some use out of his phone :-)

I'm trying to install an update to one of my AVDs via the update.zip in the sdcard.

I have tried using the "adb reboot-bootloader" command but it does not seem to work for an AVD.

Does anyone know if/how this could be done?

Hi! one q.

what rom to use 63.18.55.06PH_6.35.15.14 or 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14?

what is difference PU - PH?

i use villanrom12 and radio 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11 but with bad battery life...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erasmux:
I also suffered bad battery life (and performance) with the original VR. But this has nothing to do with the radio (for me).

Try this kernel, it should fix your problems:

http://villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=97&t=1928

radio should be irrelevant, but always nice to upgrade to newest. I use 6.35.15.14 from here:

http://villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=323

Let me know if you tried it and how it went.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shomi1417:
thanks for quick answer :)

i will try it
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shomi1417:
much better batteru life!

thanks again
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakness51:
hi there!

i'm having a little problem with battery life. I don't have the latest rom, but i've read your advice to use your kernel... but i'm using another custom rom, that is not a villain rom; so can i use that kernel?? or i might use another one?

thanks a lot!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
No. Post in the topic of the rom itself, though I think you'll find that most of the time battery life is down to the way you use the phone rather than the rom itself.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shomi1417:
one more q... is it safe to rollback radio (i have good battery life with new one but something strange is hapening to signal.....two times was no network at all)?

I read somewhere that is not recommended to rollback to lower ver...

Can i just flash with older radio?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Shouldn't make a difference to downgrade the radio. Same procedure as upgrading.

ok, thanks

I rooted when I first got my evo, (before the latest update) what is the best way to get the features of the update without having to reroot?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] initial:
My personal vote is for whitslack's method:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715915

This will also update your Wimax and Radio
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
if you are already rooted, why don't you just download a custom rom that already has it incorporated? most of them do. Then just visit the wiki and download the radio and wimax and you will be all set! :D

Or you could download the 1.47 stock rooted if you don't want to run a custom rom.

You have to root your phone to modify framework-res.apk ...

How the Hell do you enter owner info on the start screen. you know the "this device belongs to: "
[Droid X General] friguy3:
was wondering about this too...if there is a lock screen (like the pattern thingie) so when someone finds it they cant open it, how will they know whos phone it is?!?! All my other phones I could put in something like, if found, please call ##...
[Droid X General] chris2k5:
For pattern lock: Settings > Location & Security > Security Lock

From there you can do a passcode or the pattern. I personally use pattern because it can replace the slide to unlock all together while keeping it secure.
[Droid X General] friguy3:
I got the pattern lock....but what about adding a note or your personal contact information, thats whats missing...thanks
[Droid X General] xxjekelxx:
If there is a way, I haven't found it. I know you can do it on rooted devices, depending on how the rom is set up, but as far as the droid x, I haven't seen a way to do it. You can download an app from the market that will call your phone if you lose it. Also there are apps that will find your phone on GPS. I know this isn't really what your wanting to do, but it will help you if it gets lost.
[Droid X General] antirice:
after many hours on the net I found the answer. you get this by installing the antivirus program from the apps market. you change the "this phone belongs to:" by going to the antivirus program and pressing the menu button form there go to settings, then remote management and finely lost message. you can change the whole message
[Droid X General] Ryan Frawley:
That's just specific to that app. There is no way on the stock rom to set this information you are looking for. Just add a contact called Me to your contact list. That way if you lose the phone, somebody may call you (If they don't keep the phone)
[Droid X General] chris2k5:
Too much work for something too small I think. :p
[Droid X General] exempli_gratia:
One way is to update your wallpaper image to have the text you want (using your favorite image editor). Of course then it'll show on the normal home/launcher as well. But a short "Belongs to John Doe, (555) 555-5555" towards the bottom-center should work.
[Droid X General] friguy3:
just found WidgetLocker Lockscreen. I havent tried it yet but I guess you can put widgets on the lock screens so I can put a note there with all this information...worth a try
[HD2 General] jonyid:
unfortunately my screen broke and sent it off to the repairers but they couldnt fix it. it was t-mobile locked and had the latest rom (1.72??) however the one i am getting as a replacement is a sim free HD2.

my question is what is the difference between the 2 and what official rom should i update it with when i get the phone.

on the plus side, i will have 2 battteries now (both official HTC ones) so can carry a spare with me
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Depends on what bloatware you had installed. Guessing you had a non-US T-Mobile?

I think the 1.72 is the latest, but take a look at the HTC support page http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=all when you get the new handset and check with the serial number.

I had that very same thing happen to me when I sent my X1 back, got a new battery as a spare!
[HD2 General] jonyid:
yeah its a uk model. well i have 2 brand spanking new batteries because my charger broke and i HTC went to send me a new one, but sent a new battery instead then another charger so all in all will have 2 new chargers and 2 new batteries and a shiny new HD2. although have been thinking about it and am tempted to sell te sim-free HD2 then save up for another phone

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jazzyjames:
So I am fairly new to customizing roms, or just the layout in general, can I use Titanium to backup Rosie, or a dialer from a ROM, and then use it in another ROM. For example if I wanted the Vanilla Dialer and the Stock Rosie and put it in Evil Eris, would using Titanium to backup the APK and then restore in when I have Evil Eris installed.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] kaneda31:
as long as your not pakaging and asking for donations for putting others work together. put your phone together however you like, but give credit where it is due, and donate to the hard working devs. anyone can copy and paste. these are my opinions, I'm not entirely sure of the rules as i am still a noob to most of this
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Hungry Man:
This is of some debate. Some people think that even if an app is free you need to ask permission to use it. I don't really believe that... if it's free to be distributed by the google market it should be free for us, but like I said it's of debate.

As for parts of other ROM's you should really ask permission first and always give credit.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] AstrolimbiChaos:
Make sure you do your research as well... Some applications require specific framework etc...I'm sure you have already thought of this or been through trial and an error..Just wanted to provide a friendly reminder..

And as the rest of them said..If you post it up for other or give like your update.zip file with your configurations and/or custom roms give credit..
[Vibrant General] tq745:
I can't seem to find this feature...i noticed that in the galaxy s forum some of the members posted some pictures taken in night mode. i thought we were suppose to have this feature?
[Vibrant General] bahnburner:
Camera -> Settings -> Scene Mode -> Night
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
Thanks, I was having a hard time finding that mode as well.

It actually works really well. There are some ugly JPEG artifact issues, but it's way better than I expected it to be.
[Vibrant General] tq745:
thanks for the help!
[Vibrant General] area5x1:
Can anyone actually post some night mode screenshots of actual night time?
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
Night time, with (or without) my laptop's diffused light source is pitch black. It's terrible.

This is why LED flash is a good thing. :/

So, it shouldn't be called 'Night Mode', so much as it should be called 'Low-Light Mode'. As a low-light adjustment, it's quite good. In the darkness of night, it's abysmal.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
It's not "Light Mode" that's for certain. It's not going to perform a miracle and create light where there isn't any. An LED has a range of about 3FT and overexposure in all 3. If you really need an LED flash that bad you should be well aware of the fact that this phone doesn't have one.
[Vibrant General] area5x1:
Why are you taking pictures in pitch black? You'll get terrible pictures either way. With LED flash you'll have the horrible "Flash effect", and with night mode you have a ton of grainyness. I mean at least with night mode you can zoom out and still have a decent picture if you lower the resolution to decrease the artifacts. With flash, it's just like "ewww" everytime you view it.
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
What's the deal with all of the smart-ass, catty posts on here? Brand loyalty? Typical internet?

I obviously understand that there isn't an LED flash (with an effective range of 'x-ft.' -- this apparently never changes, regardless of bulb?). All I did was post to help someone. And besides, when was it ever a bad thing to have an option?

Under the conditions of moonlight, it's almost pitch-black. Under the conditions of a setting sun, it's actually really decent. That is all.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
How is a flash going to help you under the conditions of "Moonlight"?
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
In a room (with a moose).

Any more hostile 'Internets' retorts, or can we call this case solved?
[Vibrant General] area5x1:
I'm still waiting on city skyline shots with the "night mode", so if anyone can get some of those up, maybe we can all decide on useful "night mode" actually is.
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
I'll see what I can do after work tomorrow.
[Vibrant General] gunks:
Apparently I cannot post "outside" links since I am a new member but over at tmonews.com they've got an article on night time mode on the front page.

My Evo is doing fine, but I was trying to help a friend root his yesterday and the Unrevoked 1-click apk didn't appear to be doing the trick. The only difference I can think of between our two phones is that I haven't downloaded the update that came this week. Has Sprint defeated this root method in the most recent patch?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chazglenn3:
Yes...they are up to UnrEVOked 3.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nihilion_Zero:
Right, this method requires you to use a PC though, right? I'm wondering if its still possible to root it using the unrevoked on-phone application, or has this been defeated? And if so, was the defeat in the most recent patch?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nihilion_Zero:
bump. I'm afraid the answer given is still a bit unclear to me. Can someone please clarify?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashbare:
Make sure you are going to 'unrevoked.com/m' if you want to use it on your phone and avoid having to use the pc method. I forgot the /m when I first tried it and got pretty confused as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nihilion_Zero:
Yes, this is exactly what I did. The apk downloaded and installed, but didn't appear to gain root when I ran it. I ran it several times, but every time I attempted to run wifi tether, it would say that I wasn't root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mast3rpyr0:
You can try downloading the Simple Root app from the development forum, Its only 4 clicks and its a legitimate full root. It does require the PC, but you seem to know how to use one of those as you got to this website.

Don't take shortcuts because your not sure what you're doing, learn :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nihilion_Zero:
Thank you for the reply. I'll probably end up Simple Root for myself, but this is for a somewhat elderly friend of mine. He only needs root for wifi tether, since he can't get broadband where he lives (3g is okay). I figured the apk root method would be suitable for him since he would know how to uninstall it if he needed to claim is warranty or something. I won't be around to support his phone for him.

Anyway, thanks again. I'm still learning myself and appreciate the advice.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mast3rpyr0:
Ahh ok, he can always hit the wipe button and it will go back to a state good enough for the average sprint rep.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crispis2:
I Installed unrevoked 3by usb because i got last version 147.651.1. Its anyway to unroot and get back to stock rom. I tried different ways and nothing for example i wiped data, hard reset . etc.

Right now i dont have wifi is unable and that why i would like get back to stock. Also i use the method with htc sync and the ruu 132.651.1 andgive me error 171 then reintall the ruu give me error 140 and boot to the main screen/

Please any solution to get back to stock .

thanks in advanced,

Hi-

I have a Sprint Hero and have flashed several images trying to get a working phone again but the phone freezes at the HTC screen and I have to pull the battery and reboot to Recovery. Is this common and what is generally the fix?

I rooted this morning using the new UnRevoked tool, installed ROM Manager, ran a backup from Clockwork manager, used Rom Manager to download Rom and install, everything seemed to work but then never would go past the HTC screen.

I tried to recover and it also seemingly worked but with the same issue. I have Wiped Data, Wiped Cache and tried to reload several different ROMs in this fashion but all have had the same results. This is my only phone and I am getting frustrated. Any help would be most appreciated.
[EVO 4G General] nanas9:
Before if I wanted to send video on my Evo, I could just select Gmail and it would send as an attachment. After the last OTA update, I have not been able to send any video files.

Even if I just go to Gmail & try to add attachment, it doesn't even give me the option to attach videos, it just shows my pictures.

I have a stock rooted phone now, but I am sure this started before I even rooted.

Is anyone else having this problem or found a fix for it?
[EVO 4G General] nanas9:
Not a fix, but I've got a bit of a workaround for now since I have not been able to find a solution.

-You have to make a mental note of the video name

-open gmail

-select add attachment

-select astro file manager

-browse to the folder where your videos are saved then select the video by name (there aren't thumbnails on the video files)

-then continue as usual.

Since I am sending the videos to another evo, I tested on my gmail to make sure I could open it, which I couldn't. It gave me the error "Sorry, the attachment could not be fetched." Ugh.

So, I found that if I used skyfire to open gmail in the browser and switched it to basic html view, I could then download it and view it fine.

When I clicked on it from the downloads list, it played fine, but if I tried to open it using astro file manager, I had to long click the file name and select open as - video.

So there is my long workaround for sending and receiving videos on the evo. Hopefully something more straight forward comes along.
